You will feel the same if u have watched India's matches against England and South Africa. I am talking about handling the death overs. In both matches Indian batting collapsed suddenly, and moreover they were unable to bat complete 50 overs. When runs are not coming easily or the batsman is new to crease, then why dont they take singles instead of going for slog from the very first ball. If they had followed this in the today's match they would have made 30 more runs than the actual one. Its clearly visible that there is no plan-b in the place. After 40th over they just wanted to make more runs by slogging irrespective of the situation.
In today's match vs South Africa, 99% of cricket fans, followers(including myself), and pundits might have thought that Dhoni will give the ball to Bhajji in the last over. Because Bhajji was bowling really well till then. (Still i remember, when the fellow commentator asked Ravi Sastry whom he is going to opt at that moment, immediately Sastry replied "Bhajji" ). But Dhoni surprised everybody by choosing Nehra. Only god knows how Nehra is going to bowl a over.
